If you were stuck on a desert island and could have an infinite supply of either it would be an absurdity to choose the oat milk over cows milk.
It’s true that cows milk is intended for calves and it’s probably not advisable for an adult human to consume exclusively cows milk, but it’s an absurdity to claim that cows milk is less nutritionally valuable than oat milk.
Oats have been domesticated by humans over a few short millennia because of their ease of cultivation and longevity in storage. Lets not conflate convenience with nutritional quality. Besides which oat milk doesn’t contain much in the way of oats anyway.
Given the percentage of lactose intolerance, in some cultures as high as 100 percent and globally at 65 percent, for most people you would have to be an idiot to choose cows milk.
Of those 65% you’re describing as “lactose intolerant”, only a small percentage would suffer symtoms commonly associated with lactose intolerance deleterious enough to make flavored oily water a better source of nutrition than cows milk.
In any case, while I look forward to your parting salvo of blistering intellect and insight, I believe I have said all I care to regarding grain-based milk substitutes for the time being. Good day.
Of course proper milk is superior to oat milk.

You’re talking about malabsorbtion, not intolerance, which is not the same. Most people with the former do not suffer from the latter.
Nope. I am talking about intolerance. Exactly as it is defined.
God this is tedious.
